Everyday thoughts of the girl next door.

Some things don’t make sense

I went in to work yesterday to some very sad news. One of my co-workers who was more than 5 months pregnant lost her baby. Just last week she was telling me how she was excited about finding out if it was going to be a boy or a girl. This was going to be her fourth and her kids were enjoying their mother’s pregnancy. They are a very religious family who believe they get what they deserve. So I wonder. Did they deserve this? How would she tell her kids now that the new baby is not coming any more?

God has very weird ways of running this world. Here is this family who believe in doing good onto others, and believe in having a good family life, treat their children well, and their child is taken away from them in this cruel way. I am not a mother, but I understand what a woman must go through, losing her unborn child like this. It makes me very cynical and angry. Good decent parents losing their child while everyday we read about the horrible ways in which some parents treat their kids. How this couple caused their little baby to have broken bones. Cruelty through neglect, is what the court said. Google for shaken baby and you will see hundreds stories of babies having irreparable damage due to being shaken really hard by their mothers, fathers or guardians. There are the people that do not deserve to have kids of their own nor do they deserve to have babies anywhere near them. And then there is my colleague, who must be going through unimaginable hell right now for having lost her baby. How does one explain this? How does one explain men and women desperate to have babies not able to do so, whereas crazy people who don’t care about babies having them by the dozen? Is there any rationale to the way things happen?

strange are the ways of God and may be this is his way of telling us that he is there and we should always remember his existence and never question his intentions as all his acts have cerain meaning behind them
i know it sounds very stupid to tell a person who has lost his child or some near one or who is not able to conceive but what other alternative do we have except to leave every thing on God’s will ?True Anju……….there is no way we can compete with God….if he does not will it, its not going to happen!
